Exacta Stadium

This is Exacta-​ly what you should not do with a new stadium. It’s a little soul-​less and there’s not much atmosphere. Prices are too high and more should be done to get kids and locals to attend.
First-​Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium — my Uncle used to live in Chester, and one time when I was there as a teen I went to see a game at this stadium when it was first built. I had a pretty nasty experience — let’s just say it wasn’t very kid friendly, especially for a kid wearing a Liverpool shirt. I’ve been back here since then as a tourist but not to see a game.
I’ve been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review — like all my reviews — are from first-​hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was «stuck» in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I’ll post later. Also, when back in UK I’ll take more pix, and add more stadia!

Chester play here.
Their stadium, the Deva, now known as Exacta, holds over 5k people but is a bit soul-​less and generic. However the team is supporter-​owned and that is a really wonderful thing, and for that, the team gets 5 stars.

I have attended 100’s of matches over the years since it was built in 1992. It was the first ground in the country to be built to the specification of the Taylor Report. Its other claim to fame is that it is half in England and half in Wales. Capacity is just under 6,000. South Terrace has standing room for 1000 away fans. The West stand can be split up between 2000 seated home and away fans. The East Stand is the Main Stand for 2000 home supporters. And the North Terrace is for 1000 standing home fans. There is ample car parking around the ground at a small charge. The ground is about a 30 minute walk from the Cross at the centre of Chester. Just walk down Watergate Street and cross the ring road to New Crane Street and keep walking down onto Sealand Road and turn left at Tesco. It is at the end of Bumbers Lane, about a ten minute walk on the right.
Match day tickets are normally between £10 — £20

When this stadium is full (very rarely) it can be a good home ground, if CFC let the kids in for free or a couple of quid then eventually you might get a decent fan base. not in walking distance from town but plenty of parking available around the estate its built on.

this ground is a fair size for the ground its just a shame the local fans dont fill it. although saying that Chester city dont help themselves with high prices. For only a few quid more you can see a local premiership team

the ground is ok for the money this club see;s my main issue is the football played here not worth paying your money my advice go to your local park and watch the local under 16’s

The home of Chester City Football Club, On most match days there isnt much atmosphere at this newish stadium, the only time there seems to be an atmosphere is when we have a big derby match or when the team is on a decent run of form.
